expression-variant gene [GENO_0000529]
A gene altered in its expression level relative to some baseline of normal expression in the system under investigation (e.g. a cell line or model organism). Expression-variant genes are altered in their expression level through some modification or intervention external to its sequence and position. These may include endogenous mechanisms (e.g. direct epigentic modification that impact expression level, or altered regulatory networks controlling gene expression), or experimental interventions (e.g. targeting by a gene-knockdown reagent, or being transiently expressed as part of a transgenic construct in a host cell or organism). The identity of a given instance of a experssion-variant gene is dependent on how its level of expression is manipulated in a biological system (i.e. via targeting by gene-knockdown reagents, or being transiently overexpressed). So expression-variant genes have the additional identity criteria of a genetic context of its material bearer (external to its sequence and position) that impacts its level of expression in a biological system.
